Traffic Pattern ProceduresThe following procedures shall be adhered to while operating in the 21D traffic pattern:
1. The traffic pattern altitude at 21D shall be 1933 msl.
2. Multiple training events by turbojet aircraft in the trafficpattern are prohibited.
3. Keep traffic pattern as close to runways as possible.
4. When departing the traffic pattern, choose a path thatavoids overflying residential areas if possible. Followpreferred departure routes if possible (green arrowsin map).
